Background: The Contract Compliance Services (CCS) Annual Report was commissioned to examine the impacts and outcomes of Administrative Policy 3.09: Purchasing and Bidding Requirements, 3.10: Historically Underutilized Business Program, and 3.13: Communities in Need Initiative where contract requirements are assigned to district bids, exceptions to bid, and requests for proposals.

The report provides the Milwaukee Board of School Directors, Milwaukee Public Schools Administration, and its constituents with performance summaries related to the HUB, COIN and Student Engagement programs. Moreover, these figures represent benchmarks for the future to assess and align goals and objectives aimed at the district’s efforts towards economic development, workforce development, and diversity inclusion efforts.

Contracts monitored by CCS have resulted in increased outcomes for historically underutilized businesses, bringing the district closer to its annual goal of 25%. Additionally, constituents benefitted from increased workforce hours on Facility and Maintenance Service projects through the COIN initiative. MPS students have experienced exponential growth rates of employment opportunities with a record high of 38,107 employment hours assigned in Fiscal Year 17, thus providing real-world paid workforce experiences to our young people.

Process improvements continue to incorporate the district’s strategic goal objectives to anticipate market fluctuations, while upholding fiduciary responsibility to the community. This report provides a detailed, multi-year comparison involving the aforementioned administrative policies.
